The stereo has become pretty much intolerable. This is an on-going, issue since the 1st days of owning the truck but has recently become more and more an issue to the point it is unbearable to listen to.
Here’s some of the history:
Complaint: Volumes on radio sporadically changing, front speakers crackling and no volume from the rear speakers. Ghost in machine type behaviours. When on a call the sound transfers to different speakers
Cause: 18806 CC42
Performed “Pinpoint Teast K†Confirmed rear audio not working, front speakers crackling.
Resolution: Replace ACM and verified repair - AUTH CODE: 006855
Complaint: Right driver side speaker keeps cutting out at low speeds/low volume
Resolution: Diagnosed and replaced APIM module – AUTH CODE: 18223
Complaint: Same complaints with stereo, specifically right passenger door cutting out and static.
Resolution: Replaced the speaker with me absorbing the cost though the stereo system has never been fixed.
Currently the stereo system is functioning so poorly the truck is almost torture to drive. There is static in the speakers, the left from channel cuts in and out and the speed compensated volume works only sometimes. Looking back I don’t believe this stereo has ever really worked constantly but when it is fully operational, it sounds amazing.
Here’s a puzzler…. My SiriusXM subscription was canceled twice because my vehicle was reported sold!!! The stereo unit from my truck must have been put into another vehicle, which leads me to believe my unit was merely swapped and not replaced???? This means Ford knows replacing the ACM unit was not the problem!!!!!
